An interesting catalog arrived in the mail this week – it was from FLOR. Not surprisingly, they make floor carpet tiles. I may have seen them before, or even gotten one of their catalogs before, but for whatever reason my interest was rekindled in the concept of floor tiles.

Looking at the patterns in the catalog I started thinking, you know this is really an awesome product because the possibilities are endless. You can get the look of a traditional carpet / area rug but with a lot more design freedom.

The recyclable tiles are 19.7″ square and they go together easily with little FLORdots in the corners.

We’re finishing off space in the basement of our home office right now, and this product would be perfect to go over the porcelain tile to warm things up visually and physically.

While I am a fan of movies, I am by no means a movie trivia buff, or rather I don’t remember movies verbatim like some people. So I won’t really give you a review that compares this movie to his others. Some of his movies such as ‘Reservoir Dogs‘ I could see again tomorrow and it would a new experience. And others, including ‘Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2‘ I haven’t even seen. I suppose in a way this makes me a less than stellar self…

Over the holiday I saw new check lane lighting installed at my local grocery store. I have to say I love it. They’re slim, cool white LED light strips that shin up on the magazines, and down on the candy.

The rest of the store is well lit with warm lighting. These cool white lights “pop” and bring a lot of interest to the check lane. I feel they really elevate the shopping experience – make it seem classy and higher end.

Some might wonder if all this lighting ultimately gets lost, but the use of cool lights really makes the experience stand out.
